The Bows’ Board of Directors is seeking new members for the 2025 - 2026  programming year. 

The Board of Directors governs the policies and operations of The Bows. Board members are expected to contribute 2–6 volunteer hours per month, depending on committee or executive roles; and attend 10 Board meetings per year. However, we understand that people’s capacities may vary and aim to be flexible with Board members’ duties when needed. 

The Bows’ Board is composed of volunteers who are passionate about the arts and our local artistic communities. The Board operates according to a philosophy of openness, responsiveness, accountability, and respect.

We are seeking new Board members with experience in art and non-profit governance, or with an interest in Public Policy, Employment, Labour Relations or HR.  The Bows’ Board is supportive of members of all backgrounds and levels of experience and acclimates new Board members with patience and care. Currently, The Bows’ Board employs Roberts Rules of Order, a short guide to which can be found here.

In addition to our regular programming and studio provision, in the upcoming year, The Bows Board of Directors will focus on re-envisioning Board structure, policies, and procedures through a lens of equity and anti-racism, with an aim to remove colonial structures that cause harm to artists, volunteers, staff, and community. 

We also value the perspectives that members of marginalized and underrepresented communities can bring to The Bows. We especially seek applications from individuals who identify as underrepresented or marginalized, including but not limited to Indigenous, Black, and other racialized people, Disabled people, and 2SLGBTQI+ and non-binary/gender non-conforming people.

To apply please submit a statement of interest telling us about yourself to info[at]thebows[dot]org by March 15th. This may take the form of a written statement of no more than 750 words, a short audio or video recording of no more than 5 minutes, or simply a resume or professional CV outlining your previous experiences. 

For guidance in telling us about yourself, you might consider some of the following questions: What skills do you anticipate bringing to The Bows’ Board? What do you want to learn from your participation on the board? Tell us in a sentence or two something you enjoyed about one or two of your favorite artworks, exhibitions, books, movies, TV shows, podcasts, or other cultural experiences in the last few years. (Note: you are not required to answer all, or any, of these questions.)
